Each stock in this article is trading near its 52-week high. These elevated prices usually indicate some degree of investor confidence, business improvements, or favorable market conditions.

But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. Keeping that in mind, here are three overhyped stocks that may correct and some you should consider instead.

Frontdoor (FTDR)

One-Month Return: +12.3%

Established in 2018 as a spin-off from ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Frontdoor (NASDAQ: FTDR) is a provider of home warranty and service plans.

Why Is FTDR Risky?

1. Muted 6.7% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer discretionary peers
2. Free cash flow margin is forecasted to shrink by 2 percentage points in the coming year, suggesting the company will consume more capital to keep up with its competitors
3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Frontdoor’s stock price of $83.98 implies a valuation ratio of 18.3x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including FTDR in your portfolio.

Fulton Financial (FULT)

One-Month Return: -0.7%

Tracing its roots back to 1882 in the heart of Pennsylvania, Fulton Financial (NASDAQ: FULT) is a financial holding company that provides banking, lending, and wealth management services to consumers and businesses across five Mid-Atlantic states.

Why Is FULT Not Exciting?

1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 9.3% annual growth was below the typical banking company
2. Annual earnings per share growth of 5.2% underperformed its revenue over the last five years, showing its incremental sales were less profitable
3. Estimated tangible book value per share growth of 9.6% for the next 12 months implies profitability will slow from its two-year trend

Fulton Financial is trading at $24 per share, or 1.2x forward P/B. To fully understand why you should be careful with FULT, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Bank of America (BAC)

One-Month Return: +7.3%

Tracing its roots back to 1784 and now serving approximately 67 million consumer and small business clients, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) is a global financial institution that provides banking, investing, asset management, and risk management products and services to individuals, businesses, and governments.

Why Are We Hesitant About BAC?

1. Large revenue base makes it harder to expand quickly, and its annual net interest income growth of 9% over the last five years was below our standards for the banking sector
2. Inferior net interest margin of 2% means it must compensate for lower profitability through increased loan originations
3. Capital generation will likely be soft over the next 12 months as Wall Street’s estimates imply tepid tangible book value per share growth of 7.4%

At $63.83 per share, Bank of America trades at 1.6x forward P/B. If you’re considering BAC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
